Athlete of the Week: Hailey Hogan - Women’s Tennis

By SCOTT SHEEHAN | April 3, 2014

This past weekend, the Hopkins Women’s Tennis team visited Fredericksburg, Virginia to take on Oberlin, UC Santa Cruz, and 26th nationally ranked Case Western.  The Blue Jays continued their undefeated season by handily defeating all three teams 8-1, 9-0, and 7-2 respectively, to maintain the top spot in the NCAA rankings.  Many strong performances contributed to these wins, but no one stood out quite like Hailey Hogan, who won all six of her matches.  She split her wins between singles and doubles matches, losing only one set combined in her singles matches and winning each of her doubles matches with a different partner.  For her dominating performance this past week, the News-Letter is proud to present Hailey Hogan as the athlete of the week.  She was kind enough to take the time to answer some questions about her matches this past weekend as well as the rest of the season.
